Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 578/401,199/120
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 578,199
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 578,199 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 401,120 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 401,120 is 48120 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 578,199
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 578
List of positive integer factors of 578 that divides 578 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34,289,578
Factors of 199
List of positive integer factors of 199 that divides 199 without a remainder.
1,199
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 578,199 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 578,199 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,120
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 48120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/48120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 578/401,199/120 is 1/48120
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 401,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,120) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,120) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,120) = ( 401 × 120 ) / 1
LCM(401,120) = 48120 / 1
LCM(401,120) = 48120
